I find them problematic at best. I really like the Mantua brand. They are not as “refined” as Bachman, but I think they are all around more reliable. My wish is that they, somebody-besides Bachman, would produce a Climax. I love the diagonal gear drive on the Climax. I have several older and the newer of the Mantua 2-6-6-2’s, and camel backs, mother Hubbard’s not to mention the Pacific’s and others from back in the day. They are my favorites. But what can I say? I drive a 1978 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton and a 1971 Monte Carlo.
Drew, I hope you find out what you need/want, just throwin’ my 2 cents.

Just got to be patient and get to the shows. Your smaller shows will have lots of used stuff still in fine shape. from Newman

It would fit in a logging scene. If you really want a Shay you will have to keep an eye on ebay. The 2 truck Climax can be had with DCC and sound ready for under $250.

These locomotives are generally less than $300.00, and often can be found on sale for much less. Check micromark.com and trainworld.com They generally have the best prices. You can also find a Shay on ebay. The ones on ebay are generally brass and more expensive.

I have been very active with eBay getting good deals on older – out of production – kits and rolling stock. Prices fluctuate quite a bit, depending on rarity, condition, seller and other bidders. Do a lot of research and watch.
